S.T. Dupont - Olympio - No reserve price - Pen

A0000005035 The piece is in generally good condition for its age, preserving its vintage appeal and its functionality after review. The body and the cap in metal coated with the famous and authentic Chinese lacquer in an elegant black tone maintain a homogeneous appearance, with a natural, very attractive shine. Micro-scratches and light signs of use from the passing years are visible, typical for a piece of this era, with no cracks or structural deformations. It is worth noting that it retains the characteristic curved and aerodynamic profile, endowed with exceptional balance and ergonomics typical of this iconic line from the French brand. The golden metal elements show wear consistent with their age; a light patina and loss of plating (brassing) are visible on the upper jewel of the cap and on the edges of the hinged clip, something very common in this period, but remaining firm and undamaged. The engravings on the central golden ring (S.T. Dupont / MADE IN FRANCE) are perfectly legible and sharp, accompanied by the unique production serial number stamped on the side of the clip and the characteristic square logo with the stylized tree leaf that certifies the use of natural lacquer, which adds great collector value to the piece. The lower end of the feed outlet is in excellent condition, clean and preserving its correct geometry, ready to provide a smooth writing with the brand’s classic character. The opening and closing system by torsion twist mechanism has been inspected, ensuring correct and smooth mechanical operation, ready for use. Overall, it is a high-writing French piece, very well preserved, with honest signs of use that reinforce its authenticity, ideal both for daily writing and as part of a collection. Conservation recommendations Inks: It is recommended to use original S.T. Dupont ballpoint pen refills or high-quality compatible ones to ensure a constant flow and avoid stains or internal jams. Cleaning: Periodically clean the lacquered surface using only a slightly damp soft microfiber cloth (never use chemical products or abrasive solvents that could damage the natural lacquer layer). Storage: Store in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and from extreme temperatures that could affect internal mechanical components. Use of the mechanism: Operate the twist of the body always gently and without forcing the stop to preserve the integrity of the spring and internal gear. It will be shipped in a courtesy box for proper preservation during transport. Happy bidding!
